For Blue Cross, Anything he adds in the league will be important, like this Saturday’s 1-0 victory in a spectacular Banorte stadium that revived the old brilliant times of the “Celestial Machine” over the Atlas 1-0 to advance to the semifinals with what is necessary in the aggregate score of 4-2.
A victory that, after the nine games he added without knowing theVictory under the command of Argentine Nicolás Larcamón, between Liga MX matches and from the Concachampions, everything the celestials do to stay alive in the league will taste like victory after it seemed that the tournament was in turmoil when they fell from the overall leadership to third place, which would now put them in the path of Chivas or Toluca.
Things were so favorable for the celestials that the changes made by Joel Huiqui to move Omar Campos to the left along with Carlos Rotondi have given him unusual strength in front of the cement workers and that, combined with the style of the rookie Jorge Rodarte on the right sector and of Amaury García in containment, have generated a practical and decisive style where the African Christian Ebere together with Carlos Rodríguez, Agustín Palavecino and José Paradela have made a more decisive scheme that has given the cement workers a second wind.
Cruz Azul was now more practical and after José Paradela’s great goal in the 31st minutewas enough to book the ticket to the semifinals, giving a demonstration of sobriety and tactical cleanliness that was difficult for Atlas to escape and generate something more to be able to change history.
Thus, the celestials sought to maintain the one-goal advantage achieved in the first game and although they had some hot flashes due to distractions in the risk zone, in the end they managed to maintain the goal advantage and With today’s Paradela they ended up insulting some red and black people who never lowered sails, but, on the contrary, died with their heads held high.
Now Cruz Azul will have to wait 24 hours to find out its next rival, but this could be Chivas if Pumas eliminate América or Pachuca or Tolucaif America defeats the Pumas and the classic of classics between Águilas and Chivas is generated.
